Do you use a Subwoofer when listening to stereo?

Subs make music seem more lifelike and natural, kind of like what tubes seem to do...it takes a little time to set ’em up correctly (I use a "swarm" of 2 RELs...2...albeit a small swarm) but once dialed in you’re likely in a much better place musically, and you don’t have to depend on main speakers of that .001% that could be considered actually "full range."

Using subs while running main speakers as they were designed at full range, at least the full range they're capable of, works fine. My 2 RELs simply enhance the sound of my mains and add the necessary low bass, and are easily dialed in without the unnecessary addition of an extra crossover...time for low bass is essentially irrelevant and correct phase is easily dealt with...note that if you're in a small club near the musicians (remember those?) with a band across a stage, you hear all the instruments with timing delays...drummer 10 feet away from the piano, guitar player on the side with plexiglass barriers...whatever...and the result of all that can be great sounding music. Don't be warned off by self appointed experts, except me of course.
